A man wakes on cold concrete with no memory of arriving. In the darkness, a sigh becomes a growl, fur brushes against him, and claws seem to find his throat. I Woke in a Dark Room. Something Horrible Was in There With Me. by Michael Kelso builds psychological horror from touch, sound, and the fear of sharing a locked space with something unseen. As fragments of memory return, understanding the room becomes as frightening as escaping it.
